College Fantasy Football DFS Rankings: Week 4

Brad's CFB DFS rankings for Week on 9/25/21. His daily fantasy college football rankings for QBs, RBs and WRs and the DFS slates on DraftKings and FanDuel.

For the first time in the CFB DFS season, we do not have the heavy hitters like Ohio State, Oklahoma or Alabama on the slate to choose from. That should mean a bit more of a even split of ownership among many of the players.

There also appears to be a few good stacking games as SMU against TCU should see plenty of points, while Boise State and Utah State has a Vegas total approaching 70 points. These may not be the most well known teams in the country, so doing a little extra digging on these teams could produce some nice contrarian plays.

CFB DFS Quarterback Rankings

QB GPP Rankings  Per $ Cash Rankings  Per $
1 Max Johnson 1 Malik Cunningham
2 Malik Cunningham 2 Tanner Mordecai
3 Tanner Mordecai 3 Zach Calzada
4 KJ Jefferson 4 Tyler Shough
5 Logan Bonner 5 KJ Jefferson
6 Zach Calzada 6 Logan Bonner
7 Max Duggan 7 Dennis Grosel
8 Tyler Shough 8 Connor Bazelak
9 Will Rogers 9 Max Duggan
10 D.J. Uiagalelei 10 Max Johnson
11 Casey Thompson 11 Will Rogers
12 Dennis Grosel 12 Hank Bachmeier
13 Brock Purdy 13 Casey Thompson
14 JT Daniels 14 Brock Purdy
15 Hank Bachmeier 15 JT Daniels

As mentioned above, quarterback this week is a bit different from the first few weeks where we could pencil in Spencer Rattler or Sam Howell and know we are getting production.  Malik Cunningham , Tanner Mordecai and Max Johnson are all in great game scripts where they should see a ton of points and possessions against bad defenses.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

There are also a few low priced options that should be popular in cash games as Dennis Grosel, Connor Bazelak, and Logan Bonner who are all cheap and have high team totals. The last note, with brand names such as Clemson and Texas, it will be interesting to see the ownership on their quarterbacks (Uiagalelei and Thompson) as both are well known names, but neither has lived up to the preseason hype this year.

CFB DFS Running Back Rankings

RB GPP Rankings  Per $ RB Cash Rankings  Per $
1 Will Shipley 1 Bijan Robinson
2 Bijan Robinson 2 Tyler Badie
3 Kyren Williams 3 Will Shipley
4 Rocko Griffin 4 Kyren Williams
5 Chez Mellusi 5 Calvin Tyler Jr.
6 Devon Achane 6 Rocko Griffin
7 Tyler Badie 7 Breece Hall
8 Calvin Tyler Jr 8 Blake Corum
9 Ulysses Bentley IV 9 Chez Mellusi
10 Zach Evans 10 Zach Evans
11 Breece Hall 11 Devon Achane
12 Blake Corum 12 Jo'quavious Marks
13 Abram Smith 13 Isaiah Spiller
14 Jashaun Corbin 14 Abram Smith
15 Trelon Smith 15 Ulysses Bently IV

Draftkings still seems to not want to price running backs to highly, as the top end studs still are not above the $8k mark. Bijan Robinson is in an absolute smash spot and is probably about $2k underpriced, he is a great play in all formats. Tyler Baddie and Breece Hall are workhorses who should see great volume, but there may not be quite as much upside at their prices.

With Lyn-J Dixon leaving Clemson and Re’Mahn Davis out for the season at Vanderbilt, there should be some lower priced options with nice roles. Will Shipley is a five-star stud out of high school and has officially been named RB1 on the depth chart, he is simply too cheap. Rocko Griffin has an absolutely awful match-up with Georgia, but for under $4k you will not find another running back who is locked into a decent role.

CFB DFS Wide Receiver Rankings

WR GPP Rankings  Per $ WR Cash Rankings  Per $
1 Khalil Shakir 1 Kayshon Boutte
2 Kayshon Boutte 2 Khalil Shakir
3 Brandon Bowling 3 Deven Thompkins
4 Treylon Burks 4 Danny Gray
5 Quentin Johnson 5 Makai Polk
6 Rashee Rice 6 Treylon Burks
7 Jaden Walley 7 Michael Mayer
8 Demond Demas 8 R.J. Sneed
9 Xavier Hutchinson 9 Grant Calcaterra
10 Danny Gray 10 Jaden Walley
11 Deven Thompkins 11 Reggie Roberson
12 Makai Polk 12 Joseph Ngata
13 Michael Mayer 13 Quentin Johnson
14 Xavier Worthy 14 Erik Ezukanma
15 Joseph Ngata 15 Bo Melton

If you can find value at other spots, the top two receivers this week are a bit expensive, but have upside for massive days. Both Khalil Shakir and Kayshon Boutte are the unquestioned top options for their teams, and both could push for double figure touches in this game.

There are also viable stacking options in several games as you could easily run back both Deven Thompkins and Brandon Bowling for Utah State in the hopes that that game hits their total, which is around 70 points. TCU and SMU will also be a popular game to target, the only issue here is that TCU could focus on the run with Duggan and Evans while SMU really spreads the ball around. The right combination could be the key to winning a GPP.
